Wonderful Company and Wonderful Tour!
My tour exceeded my expectations! Managing Director, Stephen Liddell, anticipated every detail to make my tour thorough, engaging, well planned and personable. It was a delight spending time with him on our long drive to Walsingham, as he is so knowledgeable and witty and a great conversationalist. A great storyteller! The time flew. His guidance on navigating public transportation was very foresighted and added to a seamless trip to meet him at our designated rendezvous point. He was caring and shared my reverence of the holy site I visited. He ensured I fully got to partake in the events of the Shrine. He knew the Mass times, managed our time carefully and with great respect. He surprised me with a stop for some local treats and supplied refreshing water on our drive. He really thought of every detail to make it the most pleasant tour! I would contact Stephen again and again for future tours in England! The tour was like spending time with an old friend! Highly recommend!

Ye Olde England Tours - Fantastic - Don't hesitate.. book their trip. You won't regret it!
I booked the Pilgrimage to Walsingham for my mother as the highlight of her trip to the UK and we couldn't be happier! Ye Olde England Tours customised the trip for her with very short notice as we decided to come to England in November 2017 instead of Feb 2018. The pilgrimage was perfectly balanced with a well chosen itinerary to suit her interests. Communication between us was excellent and we knew before we started we'd chosen the best people to plan and organise our day. We were thrilled with the entire day. It couldn't have been better planned or executed. We strongly recommend Ye Olde England Tours for well planned and interesting days out. They certainly get you to see everything you want to see and then add special treats you hadn't even thought of. If I'd known how good they were I would have booked far more of their trips. They made my mother's dream pilgrimage come true and they gave me a great day out too. Very very happy. If you are looking to do something that is off the tourist tracks give these guys a call and watch them build your dream trip. You will not regret it. We certainly haven't.

Jeni, that was such a special day for us all. We're so glad that you and especially your mother enjoyed pour pilgrimage to Walsingham. It is such a special place and possibly my favourite place I get to visit through the year. It's one of the things we do best, visiting places the big coach companies would never dream of visiting. Please give out love to your mother, I still look at the video I took inside the ruins of the Abbey. It was a great day. Thankyou for your kind words and choosing Ye Olde England Tours.
